The New Riverside Ramblers

The New Riverside Ramblers band
brings high-energy Cajun dance music from the prairies and bayous of south
Louisiana up the Mississippi River to the Minneapolis - St. Paul, Minnesota
area. The band's compelling version of Cajun French music blends many
influences from different south Louisiana communities, and includes two-steps,
waltzes and blues. The members of the band have been immersed in Cajun music
for many years. They have studied and performed with Cajun music greats such as
Dewey Balfa, Tracy Schwarz, Steve Riley, Marc & Ann Savoy, DL Menard, Eddie
LeJeune, Calvin Carriere, Lionel Leleux, and others.

The New Riverside Ramblers have been playing
together for over 20 years for dances, festivals, parties, and other special
events. Although the band usually performs as a 5-piece with bass and
percussion, they also perform as an acoustic trio with Cajun accordion, fiddle,
rhythm guitar, and French vocals.
